Q & A

What is the Dress code?

We'd love to see our family and friends dressed up for our big day. The dress code for the ceremony is formal attire, and the dress code for the Welcome Party is pinks or neutrals. Recommendations for the ladies include floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses for the ceremony. For the gentlemen, we recommend a suit and tie. No jeans, please! Take this opportunity to get as dressed up as you want. There is no such thing as being extra! While shopping, let dark and moody, burgundy reds to natural nudes guide you; think vampy garden party. Please use the photos of the flowers below as an inspiration for your color pallet. If you have any questions or need ideas, please feel free to text Katelyn because she has a whole mood board she can send with inspirations!

Can I bring a date?

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited via our wedding invitation. If you receive a plus one they will annotated under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for your understanding!

are kids invited?

We love your little ones! However, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults- only event. We encourage you to use this evening as a date night and well deserved vacation!

what events are indoors or outdoors? What weather should I expect?

Both the welcome party and wedding ceremony will take place outside in the evening on their respective dates. February in Southern California is typically warm during the day and cools off when the sun goes down. There will be heat lamps throughout the reception post-ceremony to provide warmth.

Is there parking near the venue? How do I get there?

There will be a bus available to and from the ceremony. The pickup and dropoff location will be in the Myers Street parking lot across from the Mission Pacific Hotel in Oceanside. For you military types, the parking lot is on the northeast side of the hotel. Please arrive at 2:45pm for an expected departure time of 3:00pm. The bus will also make a return trip to the same location post-reception.

You can also drive or use a service such as Uber or Lyft to get to the venue. Overnight parking is available at the wedding venue provided that you pick up your vehicle the following day. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and be safe. So please take into account how you see the evening going. Directions to the welcome party and venue are under the 'Event' tab.

I have a dietary restriction/allergies. What's the best way to let you know?

Let us know via your RSVP card. Please make sure to fill it out completely and swiftly so we can work with the caterer to make sure you're taken care of. If you have an allergy please text us personally with the details of your allergy and risk level. We will do everything in our power to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

Will there be an open bar?

Yes! We want everyone to have the time of their life! But of course, always remember to drink responsibly.

Is there a hotel room block?

There will not be a hotel room block. Refer to the 'Travel' tab for more information.

What airport should we fly into? What city should we stay in?

We recommend flying into San Diego (SAN), but Los Angeles (LAX) is also a viable option should you choose it. Please check any travel times to the venue from the airport when making your decision. Generally, the venue is approximately one hour from SAN and two hours from LAX. Time does vary with the time of day and traffic. With both the welcome party and ceremony taking place closest to the Oceanside/Carlsbad area, we recommend that you stay in that general location. It's right along the ocean with many opportunities for adventure while staying close to the party!

How do I RSVP and what is the deadline?

You can RSVP online under the 'RSVP' tab but we would love it if you could mail back the RSVP card provided in the invitation. Please remember to provide any dietary restrictions or allergies on the RSVP card. RSVPs should be returned by January 2024 so we have an official headcount for the event.

Can I take photos during the day to post on social media?

We can't wait to see all the pictures and videos that everyone captures during the day. We just ask phones are put away during the ceremony so the people we chose to document our day can capture it without a bunch of little phones covering your perfect faces. Please feel free to snap pictures and document your time with us during the Welcome Party and Reception. We also ask you not to post pictures of the brides before they have an opportunity to present themselves as Mrs. & Mrs. Martin on social media.

Do you have a wedding registry?

Gifts are never expected but always appreciated. Please check the 'Registry' tab for additional information and links.

What's the best way to contact you if I have additional questions?

Please feel free to call or text either of the brides! No question is too crazy.
